Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about EDS, our platform, and how we can help transform your investment process.

What advantages do I get from centralizing my intelligence, workflows, portfolio construction and risk management - why is it so important?

Uniting data from across your investment process in one, secure yet flexible platform means you get absolute control in realizing your investment vision. It unifies intelligence across your team, so they're working efficiently to generate ideas and manage processes, improves succession planning, strengthens compliance and allows you to scale much more effectively. You're quantifying your intuition and heightening your conviction to gain a competitive advantage.

Do I need to buy your entire platform, even if I think I only need certain functionality?

No, our experts work with you to configure a solution for your needs, though whatever you choose to implement, you get the same easy to use, modern, secure interface that all EDS clients enjoy.

Can EDS work with and integrate all my data sources, internal and third party?

Yes. We're steeped in investment and know exactly the data that you need to exploit, and work with a comprehensive list of data providers. The genius of our platform is that it can surface myriad data sources in a way that makes it child's play to gain the insight and analysis you need.

How long does it take to get the EDS platform up and running?

Much quicker than you might think. Our teams work hand in hand with you to get you up and running, on average in under three months.

Why is this better than using Excel?

In two words – efficiency & productivity. We replace the fragmented and ad hoc use of all sorts of tools – spreadsheets, notes, email, corralling your insights and data to enhance your whole investment process. This improves productivity & discipline by 2-3X, creates an optimal environment for learning, saves time and ensures opportunities and risks are not missed.

How much training do I and my team need to operate it?

The whole process of implementation takes three months, which includes training. However, once up and running the system is designed to be easy to use – much easier and more productive than trawling through spreadsheets, emails and notes.

Do you support me in the longer term, or am I on my own once the system is uploaded?

Yes, our clients really value our ongoing support. We're always on hand to help and add functionality as you need it, though the system will soon become intuitive.

How expensive is EDS?

Underlying technology has advanced so much that we are able to configure our solution to meet any budget. Our raison d'etre is to give firms of any size the state of the art data and analytics processes that previously only big companies could afford.
